Still, are good looks enough to ween users off their Apple addiction? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 Review
It’s not enough for a 14-inch notebook to deliver decent runtimes, a little processor grunt and pleasing looks any more; now we expect graphical excellence too.
